Angelina von Turner "Angel" whelped nine puppies on April 3, 2003, five females and four males. The breeding was Angelina von Turner, "Angel", NA II x DeJong's Kain, "Thor II" UT I, SMCNA 2003 Dog of the Year. This was a fantastic litter and as far as we know the dogs are doing very well. We kept Cora. She is every bit as good as her mother, and best of all, she is a very biddable dog.
Angel is shown on our Small Munsterlander Pointer page and on her own page. Angel received two NAVHDA Natural Ability Prize II awards. Angel is our little girl. She is extremely affectionate, like her mother, and has a lot of

drive in the field. She paces herself well in the field and has a very good search, covering the field very nicely. She has all of the characteristics moonsters are known for, good nose, strong pointing and retrieving instincts, is an excellant tracker, uses the wind to her (our) advantage, and loves water. She is vocal when on furred game. She has a very good tail that is always carried high, and she checks in to keep in contact with her human hunters. Angel is 20 inches and 36 pounds. She has a very sleek, dense and flat-lying coat. Her hip dysplasia certification was rated good by OFA.
-- Thor --
Thor received a NA Prize I with a maximum score of 112. He received a Prize I in the NAVHDA Utility test with 187 points. This was a good performance and he shows a lot of ability and desire. Thor is a beautiful dog with a wonderful personality. He is owned by Mick and Gail Jensen. We thank them for the opportunity to use him in our breeding program. The Jensen's first Small Munsterlander was also produced from the same breeding as Thor. Thor is a strong hunter and used regularly on pheasants, grouse, quail, ducks and geese. He has very nice ears, tail and furnishings. His hair is a little longer than Angels, dense, sleek and flat-lying. He is 21 and 1/2 inches and weighs approximately 52 pounds. He hunts with great style and desire.
We sell our pups under a contract, and we required that the pups be tested in the NAVHDA Natural Ability test prior to 16 months of age. We want our pups to go to homes that will be able to test the pups and have them live with their family. The C Litter pups went to Arkansas, Connecticut, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. Our pups are registered with the Small Munsterlander Club of North America, Inc. and NAVHDA.
